I still use gmail and drive for work but otherwise I’m never logged into anything google at home. Today when I tried to expand on a restaurant’s hours it wouldn’t let me see them without logging in, although it still worked in incognito. This restaurant screenshot is just a random other example I tried, but for the one I was actually checking google had the correct hours while the official website hasn’t been updated in awhile and had the old ones (website said they’re still open for dinner but they’ve only been doing lunch for a year or so now)

    Everyone has their breaking points. The enshittification will continue until morale improves (by leaving Google).

    The only Google properties I still use are YouTube and Scholar (occasionally).

      Pirating youtube is pretty doable right now. There’s invidious which is just a mirror then there’s ytdlp for people who fuck with command lines. Or Stacher if you don’t

        I have used ytdlp before but mostly to download music. It’s really powerful though I’m quite lazy about doing the research into all of its features.

        Discoverability is still important to me. I should check out invidious, since I’ve never heard of it! Thanks!

      I still use gmail and youtube. Trying to slowly get off gmail. It’s been difficult as I don’t have the time to sit down and look through what I need to transfer over. I’ve already got a NorthMail address, so at least that’s a step.
